tree bubbles

After some hard rains this past week, I received a call from a very concerned citizen, wanting to know if their tree was in trouble.  The citizen was frightened that this had happened and didn’t want to lose the trees, because there was a pile of soap bubbles coming from the base!  My first thought and initial response was… YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS ABOUT TREES BLOWING BUBBLES??  Of course, the only thing I could do was ask if they could send me pictures to see what was going on with the tree!
